The problem with what you are saying is that takes so much money, energy and life just to get to the minimum requirements that to branching off into other jobs etc kind of defeats the purpose of even starting. If you want to fly then get on with it don't fluff around doing desk jobs.
Also be aware that certain major airlines frown upon to many non flying jobs. It is seen as a lack of keeness. Having a previous career is one thing, but I would imagine that getting yourself to the minimums or above them; then going off to do a Finance degree for three years to broaden your base and experinece etc would not be a good career move.
Once you get to an airline you are there to fly and fly only. They don't want pilots to be burning duty time in offices doing end of month reports or fuel figures etc. They've got many other cheaper sources of labour to do that kind of stuff.
